When Josh and Sean were each 5 years old, Josh was 1.5 inches taller than Sean. Josh grew at an average rate of 2.75 inches per year from the time that he was 5 years old until the time he was 13 years old. Josh was 63 inches tall when he was 13 years old. How tall was Sean when he was 5 years old? A. 39.5 inches
B. 42.5 inches
C. 44.75 inches
D. 47.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

josh is 1.5 inches taller than sean

so, let sean's height be x

sean = x

josh = x + 1.5

each year josh gain 2.75 inches, and now he's 13 so how many year has passed

13 y - 5 y = 8

then how tall he grew

2.75×8=22

x + 1.5+22=63

x=63-22-1.5

x=39.5
